Installing an app on Ipad without itunes

g.houde · December 3, 2012, 6:40am

Hi, I have a corona app developed for my sales-force. I don’t want this app on itunes but would like to have someway of updating it directly from my website. Is this possible? If so, how do my sales people get the app installed without having to send it to me? Keep in mind that I am looking for a solution that is simple for the salesperson as we are talking about 60 to 70 sales professionals using this app.

I appreciate your help,

Thank you. [import]uid: 97768 topic_id: 33586 reply_id: 333586[/import]

Check the forums for testflight, It is really easy.

Otherwise you could use the iphone configuration tool from apple. I use it on the mac, but I understand there is a windows version also. (its an IT local install/config tool).

The other thing you could do is there is reportedly a way to specify what companies can download/install your code from the app store…

If you can stay under your 100 device limit on your apple developer account - test flight is the quickest…
else you will need plan B. [import]uid: 9070 topic_id: 33586 reply_id: 133494[/import]

I guess I was too fast to answer. TestFlight is not allowing me to have none developers as testers. I have an application which is designed for salespeople, it will be in production but will be installed in iPads all over the world. When I make a change to this application, I don’t want to have to ask them to send me those iPads for me to re-install so that is why I thought I could possibly send the app via e-mail or install it on my website for them to download. TestFlight would be the perfect thing if only I could create bogus users but it is giving me an error when I try and install the profile on an iPad Retina. ???
